Start with the mailbox you already use.
Connect iCloud or Microsoft 365, or check the mail-only IMAP beta for another provider. See what each connection can actually do before you set it up.
Choose the right connection
Apple iCloud and Microsoft 365 are live provider suites. Compatible IMAP/SMTP is a mail-only beta when enabled. Google Workspace OAuth is coming soon; a Gmail IMAP preset is a separate route where the account permits app passwords.
| Operation | Apple iCloud | Microsoft 365 | IMAP/SMTP | Send-only connection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Read and search mail | Yes, with Mail enabled | Yes, with granted mail scopes | Compatible IMAP, beta | No inbox access |
| Send a new email | With sending permission | With Mail.Send permission | Optional SMTP, beta | Sending only, when enabled |
| Move or mark a message | With write permission | With write permission | Compatible IMAP, beta | Not available |
| Calendar and contacts | Separate iCloud services | Separate Microsoft services | Not through this mail connection | Not available |
| Tasks / reminders | Legacy CalDAV only; upgraded Reminders unavailable | Microsoft To Do | Not through this mail connection | Not available |
Native drafts, attachment handling and write approvals differ by provider and rollout. Ask Pear for the selected account’s provider status and available tools. A send-only connection cannot read an inbox; connecting an IMAP mailbox does not add that provider’s calendar or contacts.

20 named presets, plus custom IMAP/SMTP. These are editable setup defaults for the mail-only beta. A preset does not guarantee that your provider plan, account policy or server permits the connection.
